>> well, i think the romney campaign is correct to focus on the economy. because if brian moran and the other representatives of the obama campaign think that there is a record of success here, that people are positive about the economy, they are mightily out of touch with the average american, and certainly the average virginian. people are concerned about the unemployment rate. they're concerned about their own jobs or their spouse's jobs or underemployment. people are really worried about that. and on top of this is up to 200,000 defense-related jobs that will be lost in virginia if sequestration, president obama's plan to lay off defense workers takes hold. we're very worried about that. >> that's not just president obama's plan to lay -- that was a plan that was reached by both parties. so let's be fair and let's be honest. >> well, and it was -- >> go ahead, brian. >> it was a result of the republicans -- it was a result of the republicans holding the debt ceiling hostage. and that's why they entered this plan. this was a scheme developed by eric can

has president obama done enough to bring back florida's economy? >> well, what we're seeing here in florida is that people do feel better. they feel like we are in a recovery. things are on the move. we are moving forward. and that's really the great thing. what people are asking themselves is that four years ago in september of 2008, this country lost over 150,000 jobs. in september of 2012, we gained 114,000 jobs. that's the great news. and people feel that here in florida. and the paradox the republicans find themselves in is yes, in florida the unemployment rate is higher than the national average, frankly because of what has been going on in tallahassee with governor scott, and not what is going on nationally. nationally we are in a recovery. we are recovering here in florida. we are getting better. and i think that's what people feel out there. >> lenny, a recent "washington post" poll shows medicare tops the economy for senior voters in florida. romney's campaign says savings will come through competition among health insurance plans, not th

romney won the nomination has been he was able to compete on the issue of the economy, but on a host of other issues and a host of personal characteristics, the president was ahead. and that has helped him stay ahead in the horse race polls. what you've seen since the first debate obviously is in some plac places, in colorado, wisconsin, the president's margin has come town a bit. in virginia, it stayed the same. the reason why virginia is so much better for the president is the economy is so much better in virginia than it is in much of the rest of the country. the unemployment rate in virginia is less than 6%. so it's tougher for mr. romney to come into virginia and say things aren't good and it's barack obama's fault when in fact things in virginia are pretty good. >> also here president obama maintains significant leads over mr. romney on the issue of trust and honesty. governor romney is behind on that in colorado and wisconsin and hits just 46% in virginia. and based on those numbers when you've looked at that, is that the key for the obama campaign here, to hammer on issues of
